"So Ziwu went out to take care of this matter."
"Yes. There are also some Black Witch Clan elders on their way here."
"If the elder is here, where is Long Qian?"
"With his aunt's help, he has completed his evolution and awakened from his slumber. He will come over when you ascend the throne."
"After evolving... he's now a Spirit Race member?" Mu Run recalled what Yun Ruji had once said.
Fu Yunchen nodded. "Yes. He and his aunt can leave here."
"Are you envious?" Mu Run asked, looking into his eyes.
Fu Yunchen smiled and said, "No, that's not what I'm looking for."
Mu Run: "Then what do you want?"
Fu Yunchen smiled without saying a word.
Mu Run looked down at her stomach and touched it. "Aren't we a burden to you?"
He had a heart that yearned to soar to the heavens, but he was held back and brought down by her and the children.
Fu Yunchen looked at Mu Run, who was suddenly overcome with guilt and self-blame, and reached out to pat her head. "Don't think like that. I've never had that kind of thought."
Before he met her, his only thought was revenge, and he might even die in the process of seeking revenge.
I didn't think about anything else at all.
It was because of her that he had many thoughts, a place to belong, and a place to belong.
“If it weren’t for us, you might already be a member of the Elven race,” Mu Run sighed. “A different kind of life.”
"Without you, I might already be dead, and what would become of the Spirit Clan? Besides..." Fu Yunchen clenched his left hand, "Having you is my greatest fortune."
Mu Run, however, still couldn't truly let go.
If he hadn't known he could become a member of the Spirit Clan, that would have been one thing, but now that he does, it's impossible for him not to care.
“If…” Mu Run looked at him, but suddenly couldn’t say what she was about to say. Instead, she said, “If I go out for a walk, the kind that’s conspicuous, will it attract Xiao An?”
Fu Yunchen knew she had changed her mind at the last minute, so what was she really trying to say...?
"To lure out Xiao'an?"
“She hates me so much, she feels that I took everything from her, and she definitely can’t stand to see me doing well. She will most likely take action,” Mu Run continued.
Fu Yunchen said, "It's also a way to lure the snake out of its hole. But you don't need to go out yourself; just find a substitute for you."
"What if she realizes it's fake?" Mu Run shook his head. "I'll do it right away. I'll ride one of those cloud palanquins with no cover on them into the street."
Fu Yunchen refused.
Mu Run: "Capturing her is more important. If she becomes the Corpse King, even more people will die. We can't just think about our own safety. Besides, if she becomes stronger, we'll only be in greater danger!"
Fu Yunchen knew this was true, and after looking at her for a moment, he asked, "Are you sure you want to take the risk?"
"Hmm! As for the excuse for leaving the palace... say I'm pregnant and need to go to the Chongyang Mountain God Temple to worship the mountain god and thank him for his protection. Xiao'an is arrogant and unruly by nature and won't be afraid of the mountain god at all; he'll definitely come along. Then, you can find a suitable opportunity to destroy him!"
"I'll make the arrangements." Fu Yunchen raised his hand and pulled her collar up to cover the 'misdeeds' he had committed that morning. "It's true that we should go and pay our respects to the mountain god."
...
Hongmi helped Murun pack her luggage for the trip to the mountain god temple.
“Sister-in-law, after we arrive at the mountain god temple and offer our prayers to the mountain god, why don’t we go back to Chongyi Hall for a few days? Anyway, we need to make all the preparations in the palace. It’s not too late to go back to the palace at the end of the month.”
